About This Quote

Religion has the ability to mold your life and how you act, but should it? Have you ever noticed that people who are religious tend to be kinder, more generous, humble, honest, tolerant, and compassionate? Religion can’t create those inner qualities in an individual. Rather, religion is there to help you recognize those traits already present within. When religion doesn’t influence your behavior or personality then it is merely a means of self-expression.
